12 September 2013 Recently after filing Form 1A, I received tHe following reply:

"Since Trademark Database is not available right now hence you are to submit for affidavit on Rs 100 non judicial stamp that the proposed word in the name i.e. "INNOVICE" is not a registered trade mark and further that the company shall change its name immediately once any objection is raised by the trade holder/holders if any."

I tried searching the trade mark database on the MCA site but its not available.

1) How do i submit such an affidavit when the database is not available on the MCA site itself.

2) The second point is being asked for frequently by the MCA, even after all the verifications with regard to availability of names is done with. Ain't it unnecessary harassment?

KINDLY HELP

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Well you need to the trade-off. You can wait for the database to be made available again or submit the affidavit and get the registration done.

Dealing with govt departments can be an unpleasant experience but then live with it for the time being.
